Bullion traded near $2,760 an ounce, within about $30 of its all-time high.
Miner Energy Fuels said on Wednesday it has signed an agreement for uranium ore transport and abandoned mine cleanup with Navajo Nation.
The agreement resolves the five-year-long debate in southeast Utah over a pile of radioactive material parked in Estonia, allowing it to be processed at a mill located near a Native American reservation.
The deal with the indigenous tribe will govern the transport of uranium ore along federal and state highways crossing the Navajo Nation.
The uranium miner also said that ore transport from its Pinyon Plain mine in northern Arizona to the company’s White Mesa mill in southern Utah is now expected to resume in February.
Energy Fuels has committed to accepting and transporting up to 10,000 tons of uranium-bearing cleanup materials from abandoned uranium mines within the Navajo Nation.
